Calling All Eureka College Students!
Ed Gregory

Hi Eureka College,

Today, I would like to talk to you about Odyssey. Do you know what it is? It's a social media platform where you're able to share your voice, your passion, your opinions, with virtually anyone and everyone. You can write anything from a serious journalistic piece to a lighthearted listicle, a poem, a short story, essentially whatever you feel like you want to write. Another great thing is that it's something to add to your resume!

One thing that I've noticed as I've been writing for Odyssey, is that my quality of writing has improved. I've developed some key skills when it comes to writing, whether it be an article or a listicle. I've also gotten better at proofreading and editing my own work. It's a great way to help you improve your writing skills without having to write a boring paper or do repetitive grammar exercises.

Something else to consider is that it's something fairly light to add to your schedule. As a part of Odyssey, you submit one article (or poem, etc.) a week. That's it. There's no word count. Sounds pretty easy right? It's made even easier because you're getting to write about what you're interested in. Want to rant about politics? Go ahead. Love technology? Give us a listicle of your favorite gadgets or programs! There are endless amounts of things you could write about.

If I've piqued your interest, request to apply here. We're always looking to add diverse perspectives to our community of writers here at Eureka. If you have any questions about Odyssey, I'm more than happy to answer them! I'm sure you can find me...it is Eureka after all.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
